Review: Goddard School

We believe very strongly that The Goddard School (located in Morgantown) has been the best thing for our daughter. We sincerely thank you for everything that you have done for our daughter. She came in as a child that we felt was a bit behind the others, and now we have no doubt that she is where she should be.

How are the enrollment numbers? Just curious if they'll survive in an area with such a good public elementary system.

Hello to you 3000 miles away in Oregon, by the way the school only serves 6 week old infants to pre-K kids. This school prepares my child for kindergarten at the local public school, they complement and do not compete. By the way, jump on a plane and visit the school - my son loves it. Parent

No, actually not from Oregon, I just never bothered to set up a profile. Just curious why all the previous posters are listed as Downington residents all posting on the same day. Very suspicious... So how are the enrollment numbers? Will the Morgantown location survive?

I thought it was weird that there were so many comments in the same day. Unfortunately, I don't think that location will survive.

These first three postings were obviously posted by someone from the school. Hopefully, this is evident to everyone.

I liked Goddard in Morgantown at first, however it was my first preschool type experience and I think their looks took me in. Yeah great everything is lovely and new, and looks so organized. After about six months my son who was 2.5 at the time threw a fit everytime he had to get ready to go. Also at 2.5 he should have been moved to the next classroom and wasn't, because he got along better with the younger classrooms teacher. Long story short, this fall I went with the little old school around the corner from my house, which we walk to and is one third the cost. It is more of a family atmosphere and my son is excited to go everytime, no fits. Sure the facility and toys are older, but the experience of the staff can not be beat, the teachers there have all been there at least 10 years most much more than that. To add salt in the wound against Goddard, I've been waiting 2 months for my tuition refund, if the tables were turned my son would have been kicked out by now.

I guess since I posted without registering, it got my location from the internet source...I'm not from Hazleton, PA I'm from Honey Brook, PA.

To the individual from the Goddard School that continues to post complements from fictional parents: have you no shame? A person of even moderate intelligence can put two and two together here.
